About Algarve Web Design
We're Adam and Kirsty - a husband-and-wife team building websites for small businesses across the Algarve. No corporate nonsense, just honest work and clear communication.
Who We Are
We moved to the Algarve in 2022, drawn by the sunshine, the ocean, and the opportunity to build a life that balances work with quality of life. We're not a faceless agency - when you work with us, you're dealing directly with the people who will design and build your website.
Between us, we've built over 90 websites for hotels, restaurants, cafes, vacation rentals, and service businesses. We understand the specific challenges of running a business in the Algarve - seasonal fluctuations, multilingual customers, competition from booking platforms, and the need to stand out in a crowded tourism market.
We're here for the long term. This isn't a side project or a temporary venture - web design is our business, and the Algarve is our home. When you work with us, you're getting a reliable partner who'll be around to maintain and update your site for years to come.
Our Approach
No Jargon
We explain things in plain language. You don't need to understand CSS or JavaScript - you just need a website that works. We handle the technical stuff and keep you informed without the confusing terminology.
Honest Pricing
Fixed prices, clear quotes, no hidden costs. We tell you exactly what you're paying for and stick to it. If something changes during the project, we discuss it with you first - no surprise invoices.
Built to Last
We build websites that are easy to maintain and update. No proprietary systems that lock you in. If you ever want to move to another developer, you can - though we hope you won't need to.
Why the Algarve?
Living and working in the Algarve gives us a unique understanding of the local business landscape. We know what it's like to navigate Portuguese bureaucracy, deal with international customers, and work in a region where English, Portuguese, and multiple other languages intersect daily.
We understand the seasonal nature of many Algarve businesses - the summer rush, the quiet winters, and the need to capture high season bookings early in the year. We know that most of your customers are tourists or expats searching online before they arrive, which is why local SEO and clear, multilingual content matters so much.
From Lagos to Tavira, we've seen how businesses succeed here - and we've seen what doesn't work. A hotel in Albufeira has different needs than a surf school in Sagres or a restaurant in Faro. We tailor our approach to your specific location, target market, and business model.
We're also available to meet in person. Whether you want to discuss your project over coffee in Portimão, show us your restaurant in Vilamoura, or walk us through your hotel in Tavira, we're happy to come to you. Being local means we're accessible, not hiding behind email support tickets.
What We Build
We specialize in websites for specific types of Algarve businesses. Each sector has unique requirements, and we've built enough of them to know what works.
Hotels & Accommodation
Booking systems, photo galleries, multi-language support, room displays, and integration with your property management system.
Restaurants & Cafes
Digital menus, table reservations, delivery integration, Instagram feeds, and mobile-friendly designs that showcase your food.
Vacation Rentals
Booking calendars, pricing calculators, photo tours, and direct booking systems to reduce Airbnb commission fees.
Activities & Tours
Online booking, availability calendars, payment processing, and waiver management for boat tours, surf schools, and adventure activities.
Service Businesses
Clear service descriptions, contact forms, pricing information, and testimonials for tradespeople, consultants, and local services.
Bars & Nightlife
Event calendars, DJ lineups, drink menus, ticket sales, and bold designs that match your venue's energy.
How We Work
Direct Communication
No project managers or account handlers. You work directly with Adam and Kirsty - the same people who will design and build your site. We respond to emails within 24 hours, usually much faster.
Transparent Process
We show you the site as we build it. No big reveals or surprises - you'll see progress at every stage and can request changes before we move forward. Your feedback shapes the final product.
Fair Pricing
Our prices start at €450 for simple cafe or service business sites, up to €2,000-3,500 for complex hotel or real estate websites. Payment plans available for larger projects. We're upfront about costs from the start.
Ongoing Support
We don't disappear after launch. We provide training on how to update your site, and we're available for ongoing maintenance, updates, and improvements as your business grows.
Experience That Matters
We've built over 90 websites across hospitality, food service, tourism, and professional services sectors. We've dealt with complex booking systems, multi-language sites, payment processing, SEO challenges, and everything in between.
